Position Responsibilities:

As a Telemetry Architect, you will play a critical role in designing and optimizing observability and telemetry solutions for complex IT infrastructure environments. Your primary responsibility will be to serve as a trusted advisor and technical leader for clients, ensuring their cloud environments—particularly those built on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)—are operating at peak performance, availability, and capacity.

Key duties include:

• Trusted Advisor: Act as a reliable consultant by translating intricate technical data and telemetry needs into actionable business strategies that drive measurable improvements in infrastructure performance, availability, and efficiency.
• Troubleshooting Leadership: Lead mission-critical troubleshooting initiatives using telemetry data to rapidly identify the root cause of performance issues, outages, and system anomalies within VCF SDDC stack deployments.
• Knowledge Transfer: Design and deliver engaging workshops and training sessions for client technical staff, instilling best practices for VCF observability, in-depth telemetry data analysis, and the effective use of monitoring/tooling solutions.

This is a contract opportunity with a consulting and staffing firm, supporting a third-party customer.

Essential Skills, Experience

• Industry Experience: Minimum of 7+ years of progressive experience in IT infrastructure, with at least 3 years dedicated to VCF (VMware Cloud Foundation) architecture, deployment, and management, and 3 years directly in Telemetry, Observability, or Performance Engineering roles.
• VMware Cloud Foundation Expertise: Demonstrated, hands-on proficiency with the VMware Cloud Foundation stack—including vSphere, vSAN, NSX-T, SDDC Manager, and the Aria suite.
• Observability Platforms: Expert-level familiarity with industry-leading telemetry and monitoring tools such as Aria Operations/Logs, Prometheus/Thanos, Grafana, Splunk, and the ELK Stack; experience with other APM or observability platforms is a plus.
• Scripting and Automation: Advanced capabilities in at least one scripting language (Python or PowerShell) for API integrations, automation of monitoring activities, and data processing tasks.
• Data Analysis & Modeling: Hands-on experience with time-series databases, and a strong analytical skill set for building data models, conducting statistical analysis, and generating predictive performance insights.
• Consulting & Communication: Exceptional client-facing communication skills (written and verbal), presentation abilities, and strong interpersonal skills. Proven experience leading technical discussions, facilitating workshops, and managing stakeholders’ expectations in a consulting setting.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field preferred; equivalent relevant experience will be considered.
• Relevant industry certifications in VMware, cloud infrastructure, or observability tooling are highly valued.
• Ability to work remotely with flexibility to collaborate with EST-based teams and stakeholders.
• Self-starter with a strong sense of ownership and enthusiasm for delivering value through technology innovation and operational excellence.
